Myoepithelioma is an uncommon benign tumor of the orofacial region arising from the salivary glands. These tumors are composed of specifically myoepithelial cells lacking ductal differentiation and were initially considered as a type of pleomorphic adenoma. Though they commonly arise from the parotid gland, there are a few cases that emerge from the minor salivary glands of the palate and oral cavity. Myoepitheliomas resemble many other tumors arising from the palate including pleomorphic adenoma. This report depicts a case of myoepithelioma of the minor salivary gland of the palate in a 23-year-old patient and the successful management of the lesion.
肌上皮瘤是一种罕见的口面部区域良性肿瘤,起源于唾液腺。这些肿瘤由缺乏导管分化的特定肌上皮细胞组成,最初被认为是多形性腺瘤的一种类型。虽然它们通常起源于腮腺,但也有少数病例起源于腭部和口腔的小唾液腺。肌上皮瘤与许多其他起源于腭部的肿瘤相似,包括多形性腺瘤。本报告描述了一名23岁患者腭部小唾液腺肌上皮瘤病例以及该病变的成功治疗。
